Maybe others can help by digging through some of the info I have in my pinned post as well. I know it gets overwhelming trying to do it all yourself. I maintain the link & work on other data, I wish I could help more.

Some might be sourced & added from both @archive.org & https://archives.gov before it gets ripped out from there as well.

The most egregious is the independence of SEC and FTC

That puts the integrity of markets at risk as well as the out reserve status

AND allows him to to grift and accept bribes in staggering amounts

Undermining DOJ: (1) driving out seasoned and ethical prosecutors and civil litigators; (2) decimating the Civil Rights and Environment & Natural Resources Divisions; (3) canceling the Attorney General's Attorney Honors Program, which brings in bright, dedicated new attorneys.

(4) destroying the long-established credibility of DOJ attorneys before the courts--see the inane, rude, and immature childish filings in the Mahmoud Khalil case; and

scraigy.bsky.social•1 day ago

(5) weaponizing DOJ in an unprecedented manner, using it to investigate a target Trump's enemies--see the actions of Acting USA Ed Martin threatening Senators and Representatives for the content of their speech and taking actions that constitute a clear and potentially criminal conflict of interest.

Of all the things Elon has stolen from us, it is the lives of precious, innocent children in need that matter the most.
So bitterly ironic that this billionaire mass-murderer wallows in self-pity about his own child dying in his arms. (Always about him, never the baby.)

So I fixed a tweet for him.

It's a great list. I'm going to sleep on what could be added.

paisleydi.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thanks for doing this @emptywheel.bsky.social . I have not read the list but chiming in nonetheless.

I grew up near an air force base. My father fought in WWII as a staff sergeant in the Army on a gunner unit. I was never a huge hooraayyyy >>>

paisleydi.bsky.social•2 days ago

"I'm American" as war seems like an evil event that leaves a path of despair.

But now... I feel shame when I see the American flag. I never felt that before. And sometimes fear as the Proud Boys were targeting my city and the big flags were a sure sign of danger. >>>

paisleydi.bsky.social•2 days ago

I don't want to say they "took away" my patriotism but they sure as hell have tarnished my long held beliefs that the US would lead in times of trouble. The humanity could rely on us to defend basis decency. >>>

Now our country/administration seems to be a vehicle for isolationism and cruelty. My heart aches for us and for those we are now harming.

How about taking (kidnapping) people to Louisiana.

foreigners phones & computers are being searched for content & have been refused entry.

What major world events like sport competitions are taking place in US this summer? will countries not risk attending.

brilliant, Empty, and thanks for terrific effort. Will be an ongoing, community building aggregate. Clapping hands.

Over at LG&M, @cherylrofer.bsky.social has done an amazing job doing a weekly rundown of insane things. And I think @scoiattolo.mountainherder.xyz may know a good summary on who has rescued data.

Trump1.0's State Dept sabotage kept our children from attending their grandmother's wedding. Predictably, Trump2.0 is worse. According to this, 110,000 .gov webpages went dark by March 14. Techies check out datahoarders subreddits and the https://archivebox.io project.

If you don’t already know it, here’s the link to Olga Lautman’s (@olgalautman.bsky.social) “Trump Tyranny Tracker”. She tracks it day by day. — Perhaps you two could join forces?

Different projects (I'm tracking some of these things as well in different ways).

My goal is to have a list of things that non-political people will care about. Sort of like the opposite of signs that take credit for infrastructure spending.

I have thought about a similar thing but sortable/searchable with explanation paragraphs that say how it would affect people/you. Getting data was the challenge. Maybe I’ll start from this and see what I can come up with. Seems like the sort of resource that could be helpful for changing minds.

Man. Reading that list made me want to reach for the vomit bag, like the kind you find in an airplane. Of course, we no longer are safe flying because the SOB Musk has fired air traffic controllers.

There have been so many infrastructure projects killed. In my area, ancient waterline replacement, sewer/holdin tank repairs, and bridge replacements have all been defunded.

Starting & continuing a list like this is a great idea. It’s reminiscent of Amy Siskind’s weekly list of Trump’s breaches to our Democracy during his tragic first installment.
